Beautiful castle with moats, partly in ruins.

In 1978, this exceptional heritage was doomed to abandonment and complete destruction. This is without counting on the determination of a few inhabitants of Havré who came together and founded a non-profit organization “Les Amis du Château des Ducs d’Havré”: they will save it from disaster. The castle and its exhibition rooms can be visited from February to the end of November, Monday to Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. In addition to the castle, its gardens are remarkable and unique in the region.

Attested as early as 1266, the site has experienced numerous sieges which have modified the layout of the estate over time. In 1518, following an exchange, the castle passed into the hands of the House of Croÿ and welcomed the surgeon Ambroise Paré who applied, against common practice, a ligation of the arteries, thus saving Charles Philippe de Croÿ (1569 ). At the end of the 16th century, the castle was in poor condition and Charles Alexandre de Croÿ, Marquis of Havré, imagined a majestic ensemble and topped the octagonal keep (14th century) with a pretty slate bulb (1603). The place, transformed into an opulent residence, saw distinguished visitors parade: Van Dyck, Rubens, Marie de Medici, the Infanta Isabella, Marie of Hungary, the Duke of Malborough, etc... After the Revolution, the castle did not was no longer inhabited by the de Croÿ family who abandoned it and definitively abandoned it in 1839. In 1919, Canon Puissant attempted to save the site but the task was beyond his means. From 1930, landslides followed one another and the existence of the estate became threatened. Fortunately, under the leadership of Emile Poumon, a local historian, residents formed a non-profit organization (1978) and began a long period of conservation work.

This is not entirely correct and the source is not credible. Thomas Bonehill died in 1858 and therefore cannot have started the construction of the castle in 1887. It was his son Emile who initiated it (for his daughter Elisa, information to be validated).
